Riley's POV

"Wow this is some valley" Naruto said as we all landed on the cliff edge.

We had received news that another coffin had been snatched so we were following leads. Chiriku explained to us the coffins were heavy and the only escape route was to the south.

Look below my dragon informed.

I switched to my dragon sight and sure enough below in the valley four coffins were moving across the ground at a fast rate of speed. Naruto saw them too and notified Sora who replied he had seen them as well.

"Stay behind while we get the coffins" Yamato ordered Chiriku. The monk nodded before Yamato looked to us. "Riley you team up with Sakura, Sai you're with me, Naruto you'll be with Sora"

"WHAT?!" Naruto exclaimed.

Sora already jumped down the cliff and Naruto growled before following after him. Sakura and I jumped off of the cliff next and soon we were running after the coffins. Naruto was fighting with Sora already on who would lead and just before Naruto touched a coffin Sora pulled him back. They both landed on the ground as the coffins suddenly came to a halt and then proceeded to go underground.

"You two need to knock your bullshit off" I scolded Naruto and Sora.

"Easier said than done" Naruto countered.

I shot him and Sora a glare making the two of them to shut up. Sai and Yamato caught up with us and they eyed the holes the coffins disappeared into.

I don't like this my dragon said. This has to be a trap

I agreed with her because it was a trap. Suddenly the ground shook and we all had to jump to avoid getting injured as many rock pillars popped out of the ground. It didn't take long for the whole valley to be transformed into a rocky terrain. Due to everyone moving around we got separated from Yamato and Sai.

Eventually the ground stopped shaking and Naruto, Sakura, Sora, and I were now trapped.

"What kind of jutsu is this?" Sakura wondered.

"It could be a Genjutsu" Naruto suggested as he grabbed a rock and tossed it ahead. The rock landed against solid earth so Genjutsu was out of the equation.

"Naruto be careful for traps" I warned the blonde as he began to walk ahead. He nodded just as a hole appeared beneath him and soon the rock floor beneath us all vanished. During the fall somehow Naruto and I got separated from Sakura and Sora.

"I gotcha Riley!"

Naruto appeared behind me and he scooped me into his arms bridal style as we both continued to fall. Naruto thankfully landed on his feet and I gave him a kiss on the cheek once he set me back onto the ground.

"We got separated from Sakura and Sora" I told the blonde as we began to walk.

"Yeah I know I don't like this" Naruto responded.

We almost fell victim to another hole trap but we saw it in time. Then a big ass boulder was rolling our way and I focused on my water element. I held my hands out and water shot of them and when my element touched the boulder it became solid ice. However the boulder continued to roll despite it being in an icy prison. I was quick to grab Naruto and I jumped to the side with him. The ice boulder broke into many shards of ice when it slammed against the rock wall close by.

"Damn your element never ceases to amaze me" Naruto stated.

"Nice reflexes" a woman's voice praised.

"Who's there?!" Naruto demanded. "You almost crushed us ya know!"

The woman laughed before making herself known. Her name was Fuka one of Kazuma's lackeys.

"You know your kind of cute how about a kiss? I can do traditional or French"

"No thanks" Naruto replied.

"I wonder if you've been kissed before" Fuka stated and Naruto went red.

"I have and it wasn't with a girl either" the blonde confessed.

"Sasuke isn't much of a kisser is he?" I teased Naruto.

"Damn it Riley! I wish I never told you that!" the blonde exclaimed now red as a tomato. I smirked at my squad mate before focusing my attention back on Fuka. She suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of Naruto and licked his cheek. I swung my fist forward and punched the hell out of her face. However I only punched a clone of herself.

"That was gross" Naruto said with a shudder.

"Your wind type chakra is interesting" Fuka complimented. "I intend to add it to my collection"

She then moved towards us once more but this time I was ready. I summoned an ice wall to block her from getting to Naruto.

Annoyed she used her Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique and when the flames met with the ice it began to melt. Naruto used a smoke bomb and grabbed my hand so we could run for it. However it wasn't long until Naruto and I were pinned against a rock wall by her own Water Release. The next thing that happened a scream escaped my mouth as I was being electrocuted by her Lightning Release.

Naruto's POV

"Riley!" I yelled as I watched my team mate being electrocuted. Then she fell limp and our opponent chuckled.

"You bitch" I hissed.

"You hurt my human counterpart you wench"

My eyes widened as did the kissing obsessed chick. Riley's eyes opened revealing their golden color and her pupils were narrowed. Immediately I recognized this was Riley's dragon half and she was mad. Suddenly I was released and so was Riley who was now back on her feet.

"Naruto take my weapons and things I need to teach this human a lesson"

Riley's dragon half had a slightly deeper tone. I did as instructed and as I backed away.

Riley's Dragon's POV

I charged at Fuka at a fast rate of speed before summoning my dragon fire in my hands and sent the flames towards the kunoichi. She was quick to dodge being burned and I followed after her. She and then began to exchange kicks and punches like no tomorrow. Naruto cheered me on from behind and I smirked at his support.

"I really was looking forward to kissing him" Fuka sneered.

"Wrong thing to say bitch" I replied before throwing my fist forward and I gave her a good clocking to her face. Blood splattered onto the floor and Fuka leapt backwards from me. She held her nose which I broke from the punch. I then felt my human half beginning to wake up.

Riley's POV

"Thanks for covering me" I told my dragon half once I regained control.

Finish her off the blow exchanges has lowered our strength my inner beast stated.

I nodded before focusing on my water element. Water surrounded my right hand before it turned to ice. I then ran towards Fuka at a fast rate and I punched her hard in the face making her go flying. She collided into a rock wall making it shatter due to the impact. I smirked before collapsing to my knees in exhaustion and Naruto was beside me. The blonde then helped me to my feet.

"Naruto! Riley!" Sakura yelled.

Sai and Sakura had found us and they were alright. Suddenly Fuka disappeared from where she was and rejoined her comrades Fudo and Fuen. She wouldn't be doing anymore fighting tonight due to a broken nose and the sucker punch I just gave her.

"We're done here" Fuen told Fuka seeing she was injured.

No sooner had she said those words did the roof above us burst open. Chiriku and the other monks had found us. The three enemy ninja then disappeared in clouds of smoke and I felt my feet give out and I fell backwards and Sakura caught me.

"Easy there Riley" she told me.

Naruto offered to carry me on his back so I accepted his offer. Sakura took some of my things as I wrapped my arms securely around the blonde's neck. It wasn't long until we exited the underground maze and we met up with Chiriku and the other monks outside. Yamato was unharmed and we resumed heading back to the Fire Temple for some rest. Sora ended up beating all of us there.
